Question

alyssa has 6 quarters, 4 dimes and 5 nickels in her change jar. if she picks 2 at random, what is the probability that she will pick a nickel and a quarter?

Answer 1

The probability of Alyssa picking a nickel and a quarter would be 11/15 (eleven over fifteen)

6/15 plus 5/15 which is 11/15
You get 15 as the denominator because you add 6+4+5=15

I hope u understand.
